Whales, turtles, fish... oh my! - As I was paddle boarding up the canal and saw the 'Adventure Awaits' sign, I knew I was already there. The day started at a local coffee grower and a stop at the beach to spot sea turtles. Loved the personalized small tour with whale sightings and snorkeling with sea urchins and beautiful fish that looked like mirrors in the sun. Cousin G seems to know everyone and the best spots. And, yes the shrimp plate in Shark Cove is delicious. Promise not to stalk you at Costco, Cousin G.

Better than the description - This was so much better than anticipated and worth every penny! Everything was planned and accommodated for enough time to have fun! We snorkeled, battles boarded and a couple in our group did the water fall. Uncle Kevin was knowledgeable and entertaining!

The Surf Bus knows the North Shore! - Uncle Kevin is the best! His insight into local history is just as amazing as his knowledge of current activities and food spots to visit. He truly wants to know what kind of fun you want to have and he delivers. Uncle Kevin makes this tour a one of a kind if you want to enjoy the North Shore.

Remarkable experience! - A remarkable experience! I chose The Surf Bus for 2 reasons: one, they have amazing reviews and two, because its the only one that pick you up from the west side resorts. I took the activity with my family and was simply amazing. The driver Sam, was super kind, knowledgeable and professional. The sightseeings are breathtaking. And the highlight of the day for us was the kaiak activity where we had the chance to see turtles (very big ones btw) Highly recommended! Dont think twice!

EXCELLENT North Shore Experience!!! - EXCELLENT way to experience the North Shore! My brother, husband, and I had a great, active, and memorable day. It was great to stay in one area of the island and do and see so many things in the North Shore. Each activity lasted for about 1.5-2.5 hours and that was such a refreshing pace to go at when on a tour. We chose snorkeling on Shark’s Cove and paddle boarding in Hal’iwa. We got to see 5 sea turtles while paddle boarding! Another highlight was going to the Matsumoto Shave Ice store which was DELICIOUS! The line was long but worth it! The guide, Uncle Kevin, was so kind and personable. He was very knowledgeable and kept it real and relaxed with us. His demeanor was so easy going too- loved that he added a few stops to our tour like a fruit shack run by some of his relatives. Would definitely recommend this tour!
